Jewess said: “ Looking Glass Sound is a twisting and chilling tale, where nothing is as it seems and the reader never knows who to believe. Looking Glass Sound is scheduled for publication in March 2023. Miranda Jewess, editorial director at the Serpent’s Tail crime imprint Viper, acquired UK and Commonwealth rights, plus audio, to Looking Glass Sound and an untitled second novel in a two-book deal from Jenny Savill at Andrew Nurnberg Associates. The paperback is publishing on 17th September, with Ward’s next novel, Sundial, coming in March 2022. It was a BBC2 “Between the Covers” Book Club pick, a bestseller, and both a Times and Observer Thriller of the Month. Viper published Ward’s modern gothic thriller The Last House on Needless Street in March this year, to critical acclaim.
Is Sky haunting Tom? Or is he still alive?” Tom discovers notes in Sky’s handwriting in the cottage, written in his favourite green ink, making crushing comments about Tom’s writing and broken heart. But this final act of revenge does not go as planned. Tom’s book will be a thinly veiled account of their friendship, painting Sky as a monstrous Patricia Highsmith figure. The synopsis explains: “Sky and Tom were once close, but after the publication of Sky’s first novel, ‘Looking Glass Sound’, Sky’s fame and ego drove them apart. He intends to write his final novel, with the protagonist based on his nemesis, Sky, who is now dead. Looking Glass Sound will tell the story of unsuccessful author Tom, who has travelled to a lonely cottage on the New England coast, fleeing the break-up of his marriage. We are thrilled to have bought two more “twisting and chilling” novels from crime and thriller writer Catriona Ward, author of The Last House on Needless Street!
